# SuspendProcesses
<a name="API_SuspendProcesses"></a>

Suspends the specified auto scaling processes, or all processes, for the specified Auto Scaling group.

If you suspend either the `Launch` or `Terminate` process types, it can prevent other process types from functioning properly. For more information, see [Suspend and resume Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling processes](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/autoscaling/ec2/userguide/as-suspend-resume-processes.html) in the *Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide*.

To resume processes that have been suspended, call the [ResumeProcesses](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/autoscaling/ec2/APIReference/API_ResumeProcesses.html) API.
